Re: CHGPF and "Pointer not set for location referenced." error

  For many messages, the second level text is also required.  If it 
were just one [or maybe even a couple] message then F6=Print includes 
everything for each message.  If more than one message, best just to 
issue CHGJOB LOG(4 0 *SECLVL) and then request the DSPJOBLOG 
OUTPUT(*PRINT) which will give _all_ of the information in the QPJOBLOG 
spool file.  And if only several messages since the request message are 
of interest, then the snippet of joblog to include the request message 
up to the Escape which describes the failure or possibly up to the *FC 
message.  However to someone providing support, versus for example here 
on a public group, best not to short the information; i.e. best include 
the entire spooled joblog in most cases, because prior activity in the 
joblog might prove to be insightful, for diagnosing the origin of the 
problem.  For example for an ALTER against a PF over which a join 
logical exists, and the later ALTER over another PF which is the other 
based-on for that JLF, then seeing that prior activity may indicate the 
problem is specific to the existence of that JLF; and so supporting doc 
including the DBF network confirms the relations and shows the defined keys.
